106-year-old woman beats COVID-19

A 106-year-old woman, thought to be the oldest patient in Britain to beat the novel coronavirus, has been discharged from hospital.

Connie Titchen, a great grandmother from Birmingham, in central England, battled the virus for just under three weeks and was given a clean bill of health by medics at City Hospital.

“I feel very lucky that I’ve fought off this virus,” Titchen said. “I can’t wait to see my family.”

Just cause she lived it, doesnt mean that everyone who isn't as old as she is will, so be careful and stay inside :)

She stopped aging about 40 years ago by the looks of it! 💙

These kind of people need to be interviewed and their life experience's documented. They lived through arguably the most incredible part of mankind's existence. It needs to be recorded for future generations before it's lost forever..

Word has it out whenever she interacts with someone she takes an hour of your lifespan and adds it to her's.

“Do you feel lucky that you’ve survived all of this?”
What sort of question is that?! 😂

I’m guessing anyone who makes it to 106 has some exceptional genes.
